Reply to comment by seanbrockest in How does the gravity (or lack thereof) on the ISS affect digestive systems of it's occupants? by Bob_Perdunsky
We just don't know. There are no facilities that can produce extended hypogravity to study those longer-term effects. Honestly I think that would be as good a reason as any to construct a spin-gravity space station capable of up to 1 g: Conduct a study to see how much gravity is required for humans to stay healthy. Because if we are going to make permanent settlements on the Moon or on Mars, I think we should probably figure out beforehand if a third or a sixth of Earth's gravity is enough for humans.

Longest stay on the moon was 75 hours, anybody know if they mentioned their sinus clearing during that time?
